Proof of Residency must have a street address, not a P.O. box, and must be current. Examples are a utility bill, Medicaid/PCN card, rent or mortgage receipt, pay check stub, bank statement, etc.

After confirming that you meet the income and residency requirements, you will be asked to read and sign the participant rights and responsibilities - agreeing to follow WIC program policies.

2. Health and nutrition assessment

Next you will receive a health assessment from a WIC Professional. This involves being weighed, measured, and having a finger stick to determine your iron level. You will also be asked about your medical history and diet. This will determine if you have a nutritional reason to qualify for the WIC Program.

At this time you will have the opportunity to have a private consultation with a WIC Nutrition Professional who will help you find ways to improve your health through better nutrition and health habits. You will also receive referrals to health care and community services.

3. Program orientation

Then you will view a short video that will explain how to use the checks at participating stores in Utah. Vendors in Wasatch County are Day’s Market and Smith’s.
